Focus

Focus will be back late in 2015 with engaging conversation about ideas and issues. In recent months, we’re creating a model for what our local, morning call-in show will look and sound like when we re-launch the program late this year. We’re looking for a host to build on that vision.

The Focus archive offers thousands of great interviews on millions of subjects. Explore and enjoy the Focus Archive below.

Where do planetary science and philosophy intersect? In one fascinating field: the search for extraterrestrial life. Today on Focus, David Grinspoon speculates about the possibility of life on other planets and in other solar systems, how intelligent life may evolve both on our own planet and in the rest of the universe, and what the philosophical implications of these future discoveries may be.

With Maresi Nerad (Director, Center for Innovation and Research in Graduate Education, and Associate Dean, Graduate School of the University of Washington), and Rebecca Bryant (Director, Career Advising and External Relations of the Graduate College of the University of Illinois)
